international news live from moscow this is ass he was me hello and welcome to the program. barack obama devoted his first state of the union address of his second term to trying to appease lawmakers and taxpayers with fresh promises to bruise the corner me and slash debt and deficit but certain policy issues which washington has been criticized for or notably left out of the speech to ask his get an education now for the details. he certainly talked about the economy which according to the president is healing even though the country is still running a huge deficit he said the u.s. is halfway through reducing its deficit by four trillion dollars economists say that's how much is needed for the u.s. to balance its budget president obama hinted that had congress been a bit less this functional the country would have made more progress instead he said the country has been moving from one quote unquote manufactured crisis to

another to reduce energy cost president obama said the u.s. would produce more of its own oil and its own natural gas as it has been doing over the past two years on foreign policy front to a while though the president was talking about the u.s. bringing troops home from afghanistan the administration will continue to chase down terrorists across the globe and although there was no mentioning of the word drones what everybody knew that you know drones have been the hallmark of president obama's foreign policy and he didn't talk much about that again there was no mentioning of the word drone despite the u.n. raising concerns about the legality of the use of drones the u.s. is setting up new drone very bases around the globe as you can imagine we did not hear much again about this war that the administration is waging with a remote control a war that is shrouded in secrecy all the president had to say on this is this is true different kind of affiliates in extremist groups have emerged from the

peninsula to africa the threat these groups pose is a bomb. but to meet this threat we don't need to send tens of thousands of our sons and daughters abroad occupy other nations we're going to search through a range of capabilities we will continue to take direct action against those terrorists who pose the greatest threat to america so not much over was said about the administration's no prisoners policy which has raised all sorts of red flags and most reports of civilian deaths in those drone strikes president obama did say in the speech that his justice department was working on the legal framework for those operations but one wonders what kind of a legal framework could be when the man who's been in charge of the program john brennan during his confirmation hearing last week the key explained why it would be hard for the administration to go to court with drones and he said that we don't punish people for past deals with strikes before they take action basically said that the u.s. government could execute people for what they haven't done yet and it would be very

hard to to you know to come up with legal framework for the state of the union speeches of course is not supposed to be controversial or detailed so the president did not have to really expend on this very controversial policy of his. and during his speech obama announced the signing of a new cybersecurity order the stated purpose of which is to bruise the nation's defenses against her but the point to say there has been slammed by critics as an invasion of privacy journalist and author tom gjelten says this cybersphere is simply not transparent enough to be accountable. we are moving into. an era where countries feel more and more free to attack each other and they very feel that they can do so without being caught difficult years particularly here in the united states there is so much secrecy surrounding cyber war for cyber weaponry in general. but particularly in the office there should be

perhaps more years will go to go on and. worry some discussion about. how international laws of war. the u.n. will be front sanctions against north korea that stops an emergency meeting of the international body security council resulted in a unanimous condemnation of pyongyang said nuclear test the communist state conducted a controlled atomic dissemination on tuesday in defiance of the u.n. bottom c.b.c. both korea's main ally and eight facts that china was among those condemning pyongyang as atomic test and directs global studies at hong kong and of acetate simon schama believes while beijing joined the united criticism its relations with the secretive state will remain intact. beijing does knowledge which does the onion soda need in this region because mentoring is debility is to major for more as

watched this is the country for another round of talks on its controversial nuclear program tehran also said it's been conversing in which the reigning winter reactors have fuel and another move aimed at easing tensions with the west the process is meant to slow the buildup of material which could potentially be used to make nuclear weapons and matthew makowski a nuclear security expert from queen mary university in london believes direct talks are the only solution to the stalemate. the international society and. inspectors are allowed in that this is definitely going to be a very good sign from it on to the international society it has to be mentioned that. this would not be the first star and it would go into the water and the words if i'm not mistaken you believe times and they have not found any but still. there are not yet replied to questions posed to them one thing many of those

attempts are agreed on that in order to in order to. stop the crisis in ukraine crisis there is a need for direct hearing in american talks and this is something that we still are not so tall. to have time means many in europe are finding it increasingly harder to make ends meet but taxpayers are unlikely to be given much reprieve especially when their governments have time claims record debts and was no one willing to ditch generously funded public services the you look set to continue having one of the highest tax rates in the world peace only for investigates. he's a leading man of stage and screen however european heads of state will be hoping share our debt by doing doesn't become the leader of a tax exodus by the super rich front lawns decision to push through a seventy five percent top rate of tax on those earning over one million euros saw

a following the revolution two years ago some parents have no problem with that kids getting down to the nuts and bolts of islam at an early age but others feel it is such a case has only planting the seeds of future extremism going to come in our people . tunisia's learned some tough lessons in the wake of its revolt but now the report card for what's going on in its schools is facing examination in the school in one of the poorest districts of the tunisian capital children come to learn about the qur'an and the way of life of true muslims religious education was banned under the old regime but it's making a comeback in a big way the rise of islam islam has led to an increase in the number of religious schools are springing up across the country these schools are private operating outside of the control of state officials who have no say over what's being taught in these schools and some worry that this may lead to

a rise in the number of young extremists even many religious experts agree filling young minds with religious doctrine is may not be the best way to bring up children . that do this and i read in one of the papers sent by a three year old girl to her mother with a message my beloved mom teach me about the afterlife the same way you teach about this life is this a way to teach three year old children we can see it clearly attempts to brainwash these children dr ramani carried out an extensive research of religious schools in tunis to find out whether critics were right to say that they were damaging to the country's post revolutionary development she found most schools were primarily focused on teaching strict islamic values without worrying about the effect these methods may have on youngsters. i have noticed that all female teachers at these schools where any cub while teaching you can't see her face this is in contradiction with what's known in psychology as communication how can she

communicate with the kids of her face is covered emotions and movement are vital to kids and social interaction such things do not contradict our values and morals. but parents who send their children to study at these schools believe they are on the right track. educating their children with muslim values is the way to ensure that they will lead a proper life from childhood studying the koran improves memory increases thinking abilities and says the right course for the rest of their lives. at the moment not even the ministry of education is able to say exactly how many religious schools there are in tunisia after the revolution they sprung up over the country many operating without license from the state the government has acknowledged the problem but has its hands full trying to keep the economy together. is on the backburner absence of control of it especially worse than usual on top of the concerns about extremist salafist groups gaining ground. these groups don't believe

in democracy republic and freedom they consider them to be against their religion they want to impose their way of life onto new zealand by force as if they know better than other people. after the arab spring revolt tunisians were eager to embrace what they hoped would be a new way of life but with radical islam permeating more and more spheres of everyday life these children's future i mean not be exactly what many parents had hoped for in their quest for freedom and democracy in tunisia. our team. and right now a naughty dog called for you when marches against the president suddenly turn into a van and brawls with police and ages biggest cc's so they've begun tearing up the tate and our channel gives you an exclusive chance to hear from the secretive stars of the egyptian uprising online. also that tante dot com after

suffering a tough test by mother nature and his impulse in new york which were hit hardest by hard sunday already for unfortunate surprise from the city's tax authorities. and while some believe is that feeling sad about the pope's decision to block his vatican bags these ukrainian goes wrong only too delighted to hear the news and station a celebration of paris is a most famous trudge. today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day. and almost a week long manhunt for an ex and i called and the murder suspect with

a one million dollar prize on his head appears to be over that's after remote woodland cabin where christopher dorner was believed to be hiding and was burnt out in a shootout dorner is accused of embarking on a killing spree after vowing to avenge his sacking into silence and then days he was believed to have already taken the lives of three people including a police officer and antiwar activist and journalist don't believe that it was the cause themselves that could have driven his sister been that way. and i do not think violence is justified no matter what had happened to mr dorner however for. i'm reading what he had released his so-called manifesto it's clear that he's witnessed a great deal of police misconduct aside from experiencing it himself as a police officer in the way he's witnessed a number of incidents that were either buried under the rug or covered up in one fashion or another and so it seems to me that the end game from the point of view

of l.a.p.d. is to kill him before he has an opportunity to end up in a courtroom when there's a pattern of behavior that repeats itself over and over despite massive evidence in some cases that something quite contrary is going on to what's being said then the only conclusion that you can come to is that this what is being done is not an error but rather a policy when you treat people in that fashion at they lose confidence in the justice system they lose confidence in going to the courts for relief and some people decide to fight back and the only way they know how this particular person was trained by the government to be a killer and let loose elsewhere in the world to kill on behalf of the interests that the united states. and in our wild up days this hour at least nineteen gunmen have been killed in time and have even south after all said to be the areas most vigorous minutes and it's not the sample is one hundred heavily armed men stormed

another base but whoever powder thanks to a tip off on militants had previously defected now casualties among servicemen were reported and so three muslim dominated promises often suffer from alzheimer's by insurgents calling for greater autonomy from bangkok. and another blood to syria's government forces the rebel free syrian army has seized a military airport east of the country's second city of aleppo following two days of intensive combat their mentors are not in control of a small plane fleet which includes make fine to jets. say commanders say the government troops will no longer be able to send reinforcements to stop rebel advances in a province neighboring aleppo however damascus has played down the importance of the airbase claiming it was only used for training purposes. it was one of the u.k. government's signature policies designed to get people back to work but it's led to claims of slavery and could now result in the authorities having to cough up

millions to those who took part in the soft earth explains. university graduate kate reilly and forty year old jamison wilson succeeded in their claims that their unpaid works that they were made to take part in was indeed a little for them but it was taking place in the court of appeal today and the argument was that the surrounding issues will eagerly flawed so they were successful and a small but significant victory now the lawyers for that ruling say it could mean that thousands of people who have their benefits stripped from the under similar circumstances in this government work program could we claim that money that could leave the door open to the millions of pounds compensation that would be footed by the taxpayer of course that's causing a lot of concern that the d.w.p. are saying that they are not going to be coughing up any cash whatsoever in our

teeth done its own investigation into the work program it's been a hugely controversial program a lot of problems in the response to what's the government has said that it was read to suggest that there were any problems with the work program and that it wasn't helping people get back into work but look this is all being quite embarrassing for the government today now speak to us more about this i'm joined by amery o'reilly for the boycott work programme thank you very much for joining us a small victory do you think. far enough because on the surface of it it seems like a big deal and a win. the obviously the people involved in that bit is going to be as hard hitting as far reaching well today's ruling is really significant and for us it shows that workfare forced on paid work in the u.k. isn't just wrong it's also been unlawful search means every single person who's been sent on these schemes in the last two years was sent on them unlawfully and the tens of thousands of people who faced really extreme hardship and possible

destitution but having their money stopped as a result of not participating may well be entitled to claim that money back but you're right it doesn't go far enough there's still a lot to be done one of this my significant schemes mandatory work activity is still intact and really disturbingly the government threatening to bring emergency regulation through to bring workfare straight back in this when just today the schemes are found illegal when they've been riddled with corruption allegations from the start and the government's own research shows that has no effect on helping people find work you know there are millions of people unemployed here in the cave and of course the imperative is getting them back to work i don't think anyone's the jesting that these people shouldn't be put back to work but i think it's the rhetoric that's running it and indeed the figures as we said r.t. did their own investigation and figures just do not add up the percentage of people who are actually getting jobs from this program were incredibly full of but it was

worse than doing nothing or two thirds really the figure is quite shocking but you're right this is a fair assertion and one that i've put as an incomplete but where it's hugely controversial loads of criticism about these government work schemes but they all schemes that are employed in the government is quite right getting people back into jobs are they not unemployment in the u.k. the moment is a huge huge issue but the government nice that these schemes don't work its own research shows they have zero effect on helping people find work possibly worse than doing nothing at all. instead of helping create jobs what they're doing is replacing paid work by hand. big business like. tesco pounds and hundreds of thousands of hours of unpaid work effectively replacing jobs that would exist if the schemes were and in place not only that the government's using these schemes to massage the unemployment figures because when people are forced to work without pay on the schemes they can't count them miss having a job a very strange definition of having a job when not a single person is receiving

a wage for them before one graduate who is on that work program certainly a small but significant victory at the lewis that k. fed today it's thirteen years that the government now has to go back to the drawing board when it comes to their work skiing's. should gun control be the answer to the endless string of shootings in the u.s. that's the dilemma brought up in our special report right after this break.

again.

it's a bit. of a. goal i. said. above. my stand on guns in america is i'm i'm pro life and. i don't take a political stand but i do say i i really think that we should increase the love and sex but i believe. when people are hurt they have the tendency to hurt there

is and the thing that can heal that is love and so i'm my stance what i personally believe it is to teach more how to love how do you love your neighbor how do you love your friends love the teachers love students and that will that will decrease kind may not necessarily end diminish kinds of incidents. and this is our first task as a society keeping our children safe this is how we will be judged and then grant. a good way for. grant said i think there should be some changes we should learn from what happened at sandy hook i feel really bad in the month

since twenty precious children and six brave adults were violent taken from us at sandy hook elementary more than nine hundred of our fellow americans have reportedly died at the end of a gun so i'm putting forward a specific set of proposals as important as these steps are they are in no way a substitute for action from members of congress. get you to decide you know she she did forty five long cold. night or even put a court injunction in and taken to the hamburgers three international handles monday. but they could have you know say to snorkel house you know corners and stuff like that liberians grow they know they're the only ones in the house and somebody is not supposed to be there and getting in is not isn't easy on .
